NYCC 2012: Mega Blocks: Halo

Seeing Mega Bloks at NYCC was like watching a company finally come into its own. Mega Brands is a big company, and it has always been successful with kids, but always sort of stuck in second place with collectors. I think this is the year that Mega hit a home run and showed that they have the stuff, at least in regards to collectors.

The new HALO sets were on display, and I was immediately drawn to the giant walking mech set.

The USNC Mantis is a fantastic mecha set. In fact, it may be one of the best commercially-available mech building block sets released. Just look at it. Amazing.

The Covenant Seraph is old news, but it was cool to see on display nonetheless.

Check out the giant Forward Until Dawn vehicle. It's huge, and it's a TRU exclusive.
